Contemporary lounge chair COPACABANA

fabricperforated sheet metalwith removable cushion

The Copacabana Lounge Chair was created in 1955 by Mathieu Matégot. The low Copacabana Lounge Chair has the impression of being designed with a single pencil stroke and the elegance of the chair resides in the continuous force of the line. It is constructed on the basis of a curved tubular frame that surrounds the round seat and the back made of the perforated metal Rigitulle sheet that often signifies the work of Matégot, ending with the continuous rear legs. The lounge chair, available in black and orange frames, is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, depending on the fabric upholstery of the seat cushion. Created in 1955, Matégot’s iconic chair has been sensitively updated as a statement piece of indoor-outdoor furniture. OPTIMISED FOR COMFORT The 360o revision preserves the singular expressive genius of Matégot’s vision while introducing a bold new colorway and refining its ergonomics for modern-day body shapes. A precision-engineered adjustment to the angle of the backrest and seat maximizes comfort when sitting. A low-slung lounge chair perfect for a relaxed, easygoing lifestyle, the Copacabana has a unique expression that seems to have been designed with a single stroke of a pencil. Both decorative and structural, curving tubes of metal form the legs, seat, and frame of the backrest, giving the chair a sense of dynamic motion. TWO COLORWAYS In addition to classic black, GUBI has developed an edition in International Orange, a color that Matégot turned to in a number of his furniture and lighting designs of the 1950s, including early editions of the Copacabana.
